Tiger Moth of the RAAF...













Douglas DC-3, Naval Air Transport Serve... maybe between 1946 and 1948. Modell MAAMSIM, DC-3 for FS 2004, updated for FSX.





North American B-25 "Mitchell." Model made by MAAMSIM for FS 2004, updated for FSX.























Gentlemen, I need help a little bit. You can see this DC-3 from the RAAF has also a civil registration. Is this aircraft still available? In a Museum? Flyable?

All of these screens are from the Marshall Island Scenery, made by Mr. Graham Michael (pacsim).

Funny, I was just flying there a few days ago! I wonder if that could have had anything to do with the cheap scenery deal sleep.gif

Come on Ian, all you need to do is add some strategically placed aircraft carriers and you will be away laughing - though maybe you would also need to buy the scenery first.

At the break out of the second world war VH-CUF was one of 55 C-47A Dakotas supplied to the RAAF under land lease.

VH-CUF/A65-34 crashed off Tadji 02/1945.

The Australian War Mamorial had a C-47 A65-71/VH-CIN flying at airshows all over Australia during the mid eighties throught to the early ninties.

I hope that sheds some light on the old girl?

Great screenies by the way! thumbup1.gif

Cheers.

Tim.....
